I wore a purple dress and we spent the day outside. The whole family (minus Rickie) stood on the patio, on the back porch, in the field. We stomped through grass to try and get Bella and Liam to be comfortable with one another. Mackenzie wore a chicken onesie and John wore jeans. He got… Continue reading Easter
Category: Vespers in gloaming light
Prayers of gratitude and moments of grace.
Little thank you’s and musings of wonder and delight.
All memories of things that glow internally and in the world around me.
The Babysitter
Today the dog made me cry. I have spent many days with her alone. Alone in the apartment learning her habits and her glances. Playing rope, and ball. Taking her out to pee. Introducing her to my family. Petting her head and her neck. Talking to her in dulcet tones. Massaging her hips, giving her… Continue reading The Babysitter
April showers, bring May flowers
Mackenzie puts the ‘blushing’ in ‘blushing bride’ for many reasons. Her beauty. Her kindness. Her sense of fun. Her ability to turn anything into sexual innuendo. Her Bridal shower was exactly what a shower should be. Small. Full of people who love her. Full of good food and a lot of laughter. Women, strong and… Continue reading April showers, bring May flowers

I feel stressed and overwhelmed but the window is open and the evening coming on slowly. I can watch it approaching, the sun casting it's last glow on the large building… Continue reading Simplify
Questions to myself for Spring:
The light is changing, why can’t you?Why can’t you let warmth touch the places that have been cool and dark through the winter?Why can’t you trace your own dust lines on the furniture without feeling guilty? How can that guilt live in the sunlight? Doesn’t it just shrivel when you bring it out and fully see… Continue reading Questions to myself for Spring:
Light leaning
Daylight savings is upon us and although the days are now going to be blessedly brighter, the night's lose some dark and it takes my body some time to rectify the loss of even an hour of sleep. I awoke today groggy, swollen and heartsore. A bad fight with John has left us shuffling around… Continue reading Light leaning
The choosing
I think there are moments that are in suspension of choosing. And I think when you see these moments are upon you, you have to give in to the weightlessness of being untethered. And let whatever will be, be And then I think you need to choose. And when you choose, know it's ok to… Continue reading The choosing
